Village staff announced a redesigned Village of Germantown website that centralizes permits, payments, service contacts, an interactive calendar and email alerts, and links to social media and library resources.

A staff member for the Village of Germantown announced a redesigned official website during a recorded message, saying the site is intended to give residents faster access to village services, permits, online payments and community updates.

Village staff described the site as having “a clean and modern design,” with prominent buttons linking to the Germantown Public Library, public works, the village board, permit applications, job postings, and garbage and recycling schedules. The message also highlighted a new interactive calendar and a blue “stay informed” section where residents can sign up for email alerts on community news, events and emergency notifications.
